Is the Bible Inerrant? And Why Does it Matter?

Today, the attack on biblical authority is often driven by the desire to align scriptural claims with widely accepted cultural values, but this approach can lead to a rejection of the Bible's moral standards and a reliance on human whim instead of divine guidance.
